Vince Guaraldi - Cast Your Fate To The Wind - Piano Lessons
I have studied this song since the day it was released. Vince's version is unmatched, even by the great player above. Guaraldi's feeling and sense of timing has never been duplicated and really remains the key to pulling this song off. All other versions seem stiff and choppy. Vince Guaraldi made it flow and brought it to life. His is the ONLY true version of Cast Your Fate To The Wind.
Agreed, do you know what the official terminology is behind the competing beats that they describe as akin to patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time? I'm trying to track down some resources on how best to practice this.
@@thegovernmentinthesunshine I believe syncopation is the term you’re looking for. As a drummer, syncopation is quite important as well.
JB you're spot on. He can not be duplicated.

Polyrhythm :)
Wonderful piece, made all the difference in my life too.
Cast Your Fate to the Wind was 1963 song of the year for Vince. Great song, I loved it when it first came out.
I love Cast Your Fate to the Wind.
It was nice growing up in the 60s.
I'm sure it was. Pretty cool growing up in the 90's as well with parents and grandparents who grew up in the 60's. I got to travel back in time with their stories and records while being a kid in one of the coolest decades. :)
I believe at 7:25 in this video, Scott is correct. Guaraldi (in the 3:10 version of his song) just goes back and forth between Ab7 and Eb7 at around the 1 minute mark in his tune. At around 1:30 in the Guaraldi version, he'll throw in a Db7 on the 4th beat leading back to the Ab7. He does do what Benoit mentions but at the end of the tune at around 2:25 to the end.
David should rewatch the video of Vince playing this. Vince didn't use his fist before the low D-flat, he used his palm on the white keys. I've also heard him use this technique (known as "palming") before the low D-flat in "Linus and Lucy".
You are correct, sir!
Does anyone have a link to the video of Vince Guaraldi playing this? Would love to see it!
Love Vince-David Brings Him To Great Life!
yes but that electric piano doesn't do it justice.
Vince would not want to be associated with Smooth Jazz. He was a pioneer in the West Coast Jazz Movement. A musical genius.
Have loved this song since I was a little girl. Still do.
Big Vince Guaraldi fan and bit David Benoit fan. Have most of their albums. Never saw VG but saw DB at The Coach House in SJC once. Saw Ray Charles there also. Oscar Peterson and the Hollywood Bowl.
Fantastic. Thank you.
I just seen David Benoit in NH. Went and bought the vince Gauraldi song book
To itsjim: it was released in 1962 but the copyright is 1961 when Vince wrote it. That might be what DB means, because that's what you'll see on your sheet music. I probably would have said '61, too. ;-)
I used to love watching this show.
These are terrific videos. Thank you for sharing.
Both "Cast Your Fate to the Wind" and "Linus and Lucy" are in the same key. A flat major.
Vince Guaraldi was a bebopper too, heavily influenced by Bud Powell.
WOW!!! Thank you soooo much for posting this. David Benoit is a huge influence and inspiration. Any chance that you may discuss with him my favorite tune of his, "Searching for June" ?
That was amazing, thanks!
Guaraldi el mejor
I've always done it in G, but I'm a guitar player who does a little keys! Then there's always the Joe Walsh/James Gang guitar version in E! Thanks for the post!
I do it in Dropped D. try that, you’ll find it right under your fingers. Good luck!
@@Paul-tk1hg I'll give it a try!
Great conversation and exchange!
+Eric Coperman Yes, for sure. D. Benoit would be a great private instructor! I was listening closely to every word he had to say. Nice explanation of "the lick" at 8:00.
fantastic!!!
Thank you. I want my snowball to get bigger.
wow, music masterz.
Love your tutorial videos thank you so much !
You're so welcome! Hope they help... Have fun!
Wish DB would have shown the exact 'spooky' chords he used for the bridge on HIS recorded version. They're Db11s & Eb 11s, but with some rich tones added (13ths?)
If you don't mind, I would like to request a song. Please could you do "Tea For Two" written by Vincent Youmans. I think it would be a great jazz song to work through on your show. Thanks.
WHERE can I get the sheet music to THIS version? There are many that I don't like, but I love this in Ab Major. I like Vince's the best though, and Benoit's second. I hate al the others.
I tried searching the net, but can't find Vince's arrangement.
Thank you.
"Boo da da da" lol
Thanks for this video. I'm in the process of trying to learn this song and, out of curiosity ... what kind of piano is this? Electric? I see some sort of controls at the top of the keyboard though the keyboard looks/sounds non-electric.
It's a Roland digital piano. I can't remember the exact model number ...
itmsjim
big deal relax enjoy this breakdown of a soulful tune
@itmsjim 3 against 2...sorry, had to correct.
what are the notes to cast your fate to the wind? please let me know william c adlam in leek staffordshire in uk
hello what are the chords to cast your fate to the wind?
Wow. almost as hard to figure out as the rhythm guitar in the Stone's She's So Cold. Better in standard tuning, or an open G chord?
That is a great song. One of my favorite stones tunes. I never tire of the way Keith and Ronnie worked together in that song and in general.
The opening of the song sounds like Debussey.
The song was released in 1962, not 1961 as Dave says. I would have hoped that since he knew he was going to chat about the song, he would have done some research? David is a great guy but ya gotta get the dates right! :-)
Why do you have to get the dates right? Do the notes change if it was 1962 vs 1961?
If he wasn’t classically trained then how would he know all these chords and this complicated stuff?
The beauty of the brain. Musicians talk this lango so much that if your around it long enough it all becomes second nature. My dad is the same way, he can't read a lick of sheet music but you wouldn't believe it the way he talks and plays. Pretty cool.
